The first matches in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic are now set.

NXT on social media announced that Gallus will face Baron Corbin & Bron Breakker, while Hank Walker & Tank Ledger will face Nathan Frazer & Axiom. The full bracket for the tournament will be revealed on Tuesday.

The teams of Corbin & Breakker, as well as Axiom & Frazer, were announced on Sunday. Both teams expressed interest in teaming with one another on last week’s NXT.

Here is the updated lineup for NXT:

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic: Nathan Frazer & Axiom vs. Hank Walker & Tank Ledger
